Patented Feb. 9, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE DAVID SELIKOFF, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO SELIKOFF & SOHAPIRO, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A FIRM COMPOSED OF DAVID SELIKOFF AND D. SCHAPIRO JEWELRY SETTING Application filed March 26, 1931.

This invention relates to jewelry and more particularly to gem settings.

The main object of the invention is to provide a setting which will securely hold a gem in place without danger of its falling out.

Another object of the invention is to provide a setting made of two telescoping members for holding the gem between them and means to lock the two co-operating members together.

Still another object of the invention is to provide a setting made of two co-operating members for holding a gem between them and means including a pair of ears on one of the members for securely locking both members together.

Other objects will appear as the disclosure progresses. The drawings are intended to merely indicate a possible embodiment of the invention. It is obvious that the actual needs of manufacture may necessitate certain mechanical changes. It is therefore not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment illustrated but rather to define such For a more general understanding of the invention attention is called to the drawings. In these drawings like reference characters denote like parts throughout the specification.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a top view of the setting.

Figure 2 is a section on line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a section on line 33 of Figure 2.

Figure l is a View of one of the ears.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the upper box member, and

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the lower box member.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, the setting comprises an upper box member 1, and a lower box member 2 holding between The upper box member 1 consists of a flanged rectangular body portion bevelled at the corners with an open top and a pair of cups 4 at the ends. The lower box member 2 consists of a similar shaped body portion but instead of having the cups 4 at the ends a pair of upstanding members 5 are Serial No. 525,521.

fastened to the ends by soldering or other suitable means. The lower box member 2 is somewhat smaller than the upper box member l and is adapted to telescope therein. When tolescoped the upstanding members 5 will pass through the cups l.

Soldered to the ends of the upper box memher are a pair of ears The ears include cut out portions 7 to clear the cups and holes 8 for accommodating the looped ends 9 of the members 5 and the links 10 which are attached to the bracelet 11.

As seen in n igure 2 the gem 3 is supported between the flanges 12 and 13 of the upper and lower box members. The members 5 pass through the cups 4 and then are bent downwardly through the holes 8 and soldered at the endsas at 14:.

It will thus be seen that I have provided a simple and efficient method for holding a gem in a setting without danger of being lost. The setting can be used for bracelets, rings, pins and other articles of jewelry and for gems of various sizes and shapes.

Having described my invention, I claim:

1. In a de *ice of the class described, the combination of two co-operating members telescoping within each other, a gem held between said members, one of said members having a pair of cups and the other of said members provided with a pair of upstanding members, ears associated with said cups, said upstanding members passing through said cups and looped downwardly through said ears.

2. In a device of the class described, the combination of two co-operating members telescoping Within each other, a gem held between said members, one of said members having a pair of cups at the ends, ears soldered to the outside face of said cups, the other of said members provided with a. pair of upstanding members, said upstanding members passing through said cups and looped around said ears.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

D. SELIKOFF.
